B/G Protection
If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations in the
network, it is recommended to enable the protection mechanism.
This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between
802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode
is enabled, the throughput of the card will be a little lower due to
many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
Auto
– Based on the status of the network and automatically
disable/enable protection mode.
On
– Always enable the protection mode.
Off
– Always disable the protection mode.
Tx Rate
There are several options including
Auto/1/2/5.5/11/6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54Mbps for you to select.
When the “Auto” is selected, the device will choose the most
suitable transmission rate automatically. The higher data rate you
designated in the network, the shorter distance is allowed
between the card and the wireless stations.
When the wireless mode is “802.11 B only”, the maximum data
rate is 11Mbps (11b) so that there are only “Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps”
options you can select.
Tx BURST
Tx Burst enables the card to deliver the better throughput in the
same period and environment. This feature only takes effect when
the connected AP also supports Tx Burst.
Enable TCP Window Size
The TCP Window is the amount of data a sender can send on a
particular connection before it gets an acknowledgment back from
the receiver that it has gotten some of it. This feature only takes
effect when the connected AP also supports TCP Window Size.
The larger TCP Window the better performance.
Fast Roaming at -70dBm
When you want to fast roaming to the network nearby without
intercepting the wireless connection especially the card is applied
to the multimedia application or a voice call, you can enable the
parameter. The card will fast roaming to the near network when
the receive sensitivity (signal strength) is lower to the value you
have set up.
Turn Off RF Button
If you want to turn off the radio of the card temporarily, click this
button. To turn on the radio, click this button again.
